How many palaces, castles, mansions, estates does one family need? And a huge question is when is Andrew going to be brought to book? Aside from the accusations against him, the f*cker swans around on our money.... parasites!!!!
Like most on here, you don't understand the principle of having a Monarchy. All those things like the Cenotaph, meeting other heads of states, etc. etc. is done in a non-political way. The U.S. has the president which actually costs the US many times more. The new Airforce 1 is costing $5.4 billion dollars. In 50 days Biden hasn't appeared once. In 50 days the Royal Family have completed 200 public engagements.

Just to give the argument some balance..
